>Pre-registration of large (“level 3”) parties has been a thing for a long time. But when I was there, one pre-registered a party, one did so online, and I imagine a single administrator could keep up with the entire workload.

As far as "level 3" is concerned, are you referring to this scale[0]?

        Festivity Level 1: Your guests are chatting amiably with each
   other, admiring your Christmas-tree ornaments, singing carols around
   the upright piano, sipping at their drinks and nibbling hors d'oeuvres.

        Festivity Level 2: Your guests are talking loudly -- sometimes
   to each other, and sometimes to nobody at all, rearranging your
   Christmas-tree ornaments, singing "i gotta be me" around the upright
   piano, gulping their drinks and wolfing down hors d'oeuvres.

        Festivity Level 3: Your guests are arguing violently with
   inanimate objects, singing "i can't get no satisfaction," gulping down
   other peoples' drinks, wolfing down Christmas tree ornaments and
   placing hors d'oeuvres in the upright piano to see what happens when
   the little hammers strike.

        Festivity Level 4: Your guests, hors d'oeuvres smeared all over
   their naked bodies are performing a ritual dance around the burning
   Christmas tree.  The piano is missing.

        You want to keep your party somewhere around level 3, unless
   you rent your home and own Firearms, in which case you can go to level
   4.  The best way to get to level 3 is egg-nog.

No. IIRC level 3 meant open to the whole campus. The party rules varied depending on who was invited.
